US-Brazil Ocean Engineering Technology Workshop

摘要提案：OISE-1132899 主要研究者/机构：Triantafyllou，Michael S.，马萨诸塞州理工学院巴西海洋工程研讨会（里约热内卢，2011年8月16日至18日）将汇集美国和巴西的专家，以促进两国之间的新的合作领域，这将补充目前的海洋工程工作，并加强美国海洋相关研究的利益。 美国代表团由马萨诸塞州理工学院的Michael Triantafyllou博士率领，并有来自美国海军研究生院的代表。密歇根大学、伍兹霍尔海洋研究所、德克萨斯农工大学、史蒂文斯理工学院和佛罗里达大西洋大学。 巴西同行由Murilo Augusto Vaz博士（里约热内卢联邦大学）领导，来自圣保罗大学、里约热内卢天主教大学、坎皮纳斯州立大学、Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnologicas、Centro de Pesquisas e Desenvolvimento Leopoldo Américo Miguez de Mello和Petrobras。巴西在近海石油和天然气钻探的研发方面进行了大量投资，从而在海洋资源开采方面积累了相当多的专门知识。 巴西还在海洋工程的新设施、研究机构和大学课程方面投入巨资，使其成为深水油气藏勘探的世界领导者。 巴西的投资与美国大学增加海洋研究和相关教育活动的类似努力不谋而合，因此使这次研讨会成为一次非常及时和富有成效的奋进。

Abstract Proposal: OISE-1132899 PI/Institution: Triantafyllou, Michael S., Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyThe proposed U.S.-Brazil Ocean Engineering workshop (in Rio de Janeiro, August 16-18, 2011) will bring together US and Brazil experts to catalyze new collaborative areas between the two countries that will complement current ocean engineering effort s and strengthen the benefits for ocean related research in the US. The US delegation is led by Dr. Michael Triantafyllou (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and it has representation from the Naval Postgraduate School, the U. of Michigan, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Texas A&M University, Stevens Institute of Technology, and Florida Atlantic University. The Brazilian counterparts, led by Dr. Murilo Augusto Vaz (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro), are from the Universidade de Sao Paulo, Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Rio de Janeiro, Universidade Estatal de Campinas, Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnologicas, Centro de Pesquisas e Desenvolvimento Leopoldo Américo Miguez de Mello, and Petrobras. Brazil has made significant investments in R&D for off-shore oil and gas drilling and thus developed considerable expertise in ocean resource extraction. Brazil has also invested heavily in new facilities, research institutes, and university programs in ocean engineering making it a world leader in deep water oil and gas reservoirs exploration. Brazil's investment coincides with similar efforts at US universities increasing ocean research and related education activities thus making this workshop a very timely and productive endeavor.
